A sample contains 92% stable 40 Ar and 8 % unstable 39 Ar. The half life of the unstable 39 Ar is 270 years. Calculate the activity (the number of decay per second) for one gram of this sample. (8%) Answer:
lodine 131 has a half life of 8 days and decays by a first order process (as is always the case for radioactive decay). How much of a 46 gram sample of iodine 131 will remain after 8 days? Report your answer in grams.
10) The half-life of lodine-131 is 8 days. The initial amount is 20 milligrams. a) Find a function which gives the amount of lodine-131, Act), in milligrams, t days later. Round k, the decay constant, to four decimal places. b) Determine the length of time it takes for 70% of the material to decay. Round your answer to two decimal places. Be sure to label the answer.
1-2 lodine-131 is often used in nuclear medicine to obtain images of the thyroid. If you start with 4.0x10 lodine-131 atoms, how many are left after approximately 1 month? 1-131 has a half- life of 8.0 days. 2) Radium-223 decays with a half-life of 11.4 days. How long will it take for a 0.240-mol sample of radium to decay to 1.50x 10 mol? lodine-131 is often used in nuclear medicine to obtain images of the thyroid. If you start with...

A radioactive sample contains two different types of radioactive nuclei: A, with half-life 9.0 days, and B, with half-life 18.0 days. Initially, the decay rate of the A-type nucleus is 256 times that of the B-type nucleus. 1) When will their decay rates be equal?
Only problem 8 please. 8. Consider the three component decay in Problem 7. The half-life of the orig- inal nucleus is one day. The half-life of the second nuclide is two days, while the third nuclide is stable. The initial number of particles for nuclide A is 10,000, while nuclides B and C have no initial particles. Plot the number of particles from 0 to 10 days using ODE45 in MATLAB. Problem 7 Consider the case where we have the...
